I took slightly less than a minute per question on my latest Microsoft certification test, MS 070-290: Managing and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Environment, and I think I missed all of three questions total. A passing score was 700, I got 760, and from the way the results graph looks, it seems that 800 was the best possible score. Out of 45 questions, that’s not too bad.

Only one more test and I’ll have the Microsoft Certified Database Administrator certification (to add to my Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer in .NET certification). Meaningless paper? Possibly. Worth something in the job market? Most definitely.
